If you're navigating a course with turn by turn on, but leave the course (say a road is closed so you go around) then re join course, garmin will register you're back on the course but does not pick up turn by turn.
I actually experience this with the Garmin Touring, very very fustrating and end up having to use the map screen to follow it.
Somehow I think this is an unique Garmin features that they don't view as a fault.

Does your etrex do it?
My old 810 would pick back up the course and continue turnbyturn. -
Had this on The London Classic today. Along with its other fave feature of turning auto route recalculation on even when I've switched it to 'off' so my carefully preplanned route gets recalculated when I go off course - stopping at a cafe for instance.
I hate the damn thing. So infuriating as it works perfectly about 60% of the time, but the 40% means I can't trust it.

Pixels are often not covered under warranty and are just acceptable.
But anyway discovered a huge issue with 1000 today.

It gets worse.
So stop course, re start course hoping garmin will pick up the course from where you are. No, it does, but then it throws a fit and registers your distance from the start and wants you to go to start. So no turn by turn.
So had to just load course and sit on the map screen, chewed threw my battery.
I'm going to email garmin. But as far as I'm concerned it's now a paperweight. The 800 and 810 never did this.
Jesus they just can't make a product that works.
